Q&A with Robert/Bob 'Butter Bean' Inspector 12 Love
You may not know Rudy Love's name, even if you've heard his voice all your life.
Love's story encapsulates a quintessential struggle of black artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. In the face of systemic racism and with the purest of intentions, Love repeatedly turned down fame to make music with his family. Just when it seems all his music is lost, it shows up on the other side of the world.
Sinbad, Mick Fleetwood, George Clinton, Marsai Martin, Norman Jay MBE, John McBride, Bobby Messano, Julie Woodson and Michael Colyar co-star in this "funkumentary" on an unsung hero of soul.
Directed by John Alexander. Produced by JC Guest and Robert Love. Executive Produced by Shawn Rhodes, Ann Garvey, Emily Bonavia, Susan Houston, and Mick Fleetwood.

Junction City Community Band
Junction City municipal bands have been in existence since 1868. The first band consisted of 13 members; only three had played in a band before. The group went by the name “The Junction City Cornet Band.” and performed fre weekley concerts during the summer in Heritage Park. Player-turned-director was George Kilian until 1899.
The band continued to perform in Junction City until 1963 despite a variety of money problems.
In 1973, the bandstand in Heritage Park was demolished due to its unsafe condition. Under the dirction of David Carlson, a summer city band played concerts in Heritage Park in the early 1990s.
In 1995 Mary Lousie Stahl commented that Junction City needed a community band. Due to the interest of local musicians the Junction City Community Band was organized to resume concerts in the Park in 1996.
The band concerts were moved from the Park to the CL Hoover Opera House in 2010 where the tradition of providing free concerts to the public has been maintained.
